Breaks the format in every way. Does everything that Magnemite wishes he could do with Magnetic Switch. I won a game with him once two seasons ago on the first turn with expert belt and Pluspowers–too easy.
Just look at the artwork–Hoppip leads the way with his best foot forward. Yes, it’s inevitable. He’s going to Bounce you with that foot, and there’s nothing you can do about it. Did I mention that a World Champion in 2010 ran 4 copies of this card in her deck?? You heard me right, HER deck. Men were too proud to run such a wild and reckless card, and they were shown up because of it.
A thing of legends. He’s been both my best friend and worst enemy. The only thing that would make this card better is if Pokemon understood what they were doing when assigning rarity and made this card a holo.
I’ve included set abbreviations within titles for all the cards, so you can search by them. Like try searching Weavile UD and the right card will show up.
I personally believe that this card is much better than people think. I mean, it’s the perfect baby killer! Yeah, Zekrom is a problem, but Samurott/Donphan could tech these things in. I rated it a 6. Then again, that’s just my opinion. :P
1. I’ve got the pricing like 95% automated now through some trickery, so uploading new cards should be pretty fast.
2. Keyboard nav is live. On single card pages (where the comments are listed), you can use your left and right arrows to go to the prev/next card.
3. If you press R on your keyboard it’ll show a random card.
4. If you press TAB, it’ll put your cursor directly in the search box.
What I’m going to do next is add some more (older) sets, continue to monitor stuff and clean up the code, then hopefully by the end of the week I’ll feel good enough about everything to make an official launch announcement.
Pages should also load faster after I’m done tinkering which is always good!
Try disabling any add-ons/plugins you have installed with Firefox. That might be the issue. It works on my Firefox for Mac, but I’ll try to test on Windows if I have a chance.
On Chrome it works fine. On Firefox I’m experiencing something odd.. if I press the random button just once, it brings me to a random card; if I press it a second time, the page remains the same.. I don’t know why!
I thought of another cool keyboard thing I’ll try to add: Using the left and right buttons to go to the next/previous card on single card pages. That way you don’t have to click the next/previous links.
The only thing is that I’m planning to expand beyond Pokemon with this, and Dex is somewhat of a Pokemon term, but I really like the ring of TcgDex.com! Good thinking Jackson.
I’ll keep that in mind for later. Switching URLs right now is not something I want to do haha.

Awesome in Limited.
coolestman22
Are babies still playable?
coolestman22
This is that Donphan counter I was talking about.

I was thinking about names, and I think that “tcgdex.com” sounds pretty cool, and I don’t believe anyone owns it, but I could be wrong.
Darumaka’s droppings are hot, so people used to put them in their clothes to keep themselves warm.

This card is so strong right now. I would be happier if there were a splashable tech that could counter this (maybe OHKO it).
Quarter-Turn
I know Call of Legends was a bust in a lot of ways, but some of the art really impresses me. Then again, Suicune always looks awesome.

Almost all other trainer/supporters does the same, adn more!

Baaaaaalla!

Do you know what I’ve finally noticed? This set is actually ordered by type, not rarity. After all these years, they’ve decided to go the way we’ve naturally ordered cards in our binder…took them long enough haha.

10/10. No questions asked.

I blame J-Wittz for this absurdly high rating.

I can switch AND do 10 damage at the same time!? FOR 1 ENERGY!?

IT’S CHARIZARDDDDDDD!!!!!

Hey Jakob,
I’ve included set abbreviations within titles for all the cards, so you can search by them. Like try searching Weavile UD and the right card will show up.
Is that what you meant?
Jakob Silvmark
You could try doing something with abbreviations. They are really confusing for new players (myself included)
coolestman22
yep.
Adam Capriola
Possibly if babies were popular, but I don’t know how much they’re going to be used anymore (only 1 or 2 per deck max probably).
If this one had the Ability of the other Samurott, then maybeeee. Damage spread is always fun.

Where is that old Pokegym article?

no man, Yanmega’s better.

I’m glad Pokemon didn’t mess up the possessive on this one. I’m sure a few kids flunked English thanks to Cyrus’s Conspiracy.

It’s shiny.

I vote putting a link to pokemon catcher here so new players can see a better choice.
coolestman22
This card won me a couple prerelease games.
i_guess_i_will_try
That’s an interesting concept for an attack. haha
Adam Capriola
Good call coolestman.
quaziko
Daaaang, this IS decent.
coolestman22
curse you abilities!
coolestman22
This + Typhlosion = funny tier 4-5 deck.
coolestman22
If you ever run anything with Feraligatr prime, i’ve found this to be a very handy secondary attacker that takes up no extra space whatsoever.
coolestman22
This is probably the most playable of any of the shiny legend cards.
coolestman22
I guess Yanmega is better at it, although I’m not a huge Yanmega fan. This could act as a low-priced baby-killer though.

On Chrome it works fine. On Firefox I’m experiencing something odd.. if I press the random button just once, it brings me to a random card; if I press it a second time, the page remains the same.. I don’t know why!
Adam Capriola
That’s odd, it’s working for me in Chrome and Firefox. It might be something to do with your cache, I dunno.
Try using a different browser and let me know if it works! :)
Galeon
Man, the random button is just not working. It brings me to a Fire Energy, no matter how many times I press it!
Adam Capriola

I love the art style on this and Raichu! Anyone else agree, or is it just me?
Adam Capriola
Hah I actually didn’t realize dex was short for index, good catch! I may end up changing URLs down the road… we’ll see.
jacksondahl
I totally missed this… hahahaha!
jacksondahl
Yeah, that makes sense. That came to mind, but I also realized that dex is simply short for “index”, which would work. Just my 2 cents.
Yeah, I completely understand. Anyway, I look forward to the site’s progress!
Adam Capriola
Yeah, I would say so. This card isn’t though.

I agree. The classic art can’t be beat.

Gust of Wind is still better than this. You can’t beat Weedle.

I really like the artwork on this, Pidgeotto, and Pidgey.
